You had me laughing out loud with the story of your son and the Little Oak photo shoots. My daughter was about the same age when we tried to get a family photo with our 3 older sons and her. What a disaster, she cried the entire time. We got one photo where she wasn't crying, she was probably taking a deep breath to get ready for a really big scream :)

I love all the knitted toys, I really need to try some, my boys would probably love those dinosaurs.

I really enjoyed listening to the story on the train! People really get intrigued by us knitters. We had a man commenting our knitting at the cafe on Wednesday. He asked: Are you a knitting club? Are you pregnant? He said that his sister started knitting when she became pregnant! Have a great weekend!

Hey there! I just stumbled on your blog, and was delighted to see all the cool patterns and podcasts available! I took the time to peek into your book~♥. My siblings will totally dig these dinosaurs, and I can already hear the monstrous battles that will take place!Thanks for hosting this, and for giving my something interesting to read and watch! I will be back to follow your other podcasts(definitely keep up this awesome blog)!MORGAN

Such a cute story on the picture of your little boy! Thank you for sharing.As for what I am knitting now - I bought Whee Wildflower to make for my 5-yo daughter, and cannot get the gauge right. No matter what I do - I am still 2 sts off. Thank you for discount. Too bad I cannot use it now. thank you,~ iris68

I was cracking up about your disastrous baby photo shoots! The sleeping with pinecone shots are priceless. I have the same problem getting good pics of my kids in my knits. Although, my 3-yr-old is harder to photograph than my 9-month old lately...Just bought yarn today to make Little Oak for my baby boy!

I am a fellow year-round knitter. I only learned to knit a couple years ago, so I'm making up for a lifetime of lost knitting enjoyment. I just made some fingerless gloves in pink and purple for my daughter for this fall, and I want to make some shawls and scarves for myself this summer... once fall hits, it's knitting for the holidays. The knits in this book would make great ornaments. I'd love to win it.

I have never made a knitted toy, but I have three babies to knit for right now (two of which I know are boys, one still to be announced). I think this book would allow me to make a cute addition to the afghans I'm planning to knit for these babies!

I'm hooked on Susan B Anderson's Itty Bitty Toys--I just finished a wrap me up pup and now am working on the reversible frog/turtle. I love making knitted toys and have had my eye on this book for a while. Emmajoyce34@gmail.com

hahahaha! They're sooo cute! I would really like to have this book. However, I won't be knitting dinos for kiddies, at least not at first: I NEED a triceratops of my own! Thanks for offering this giveaway.AnnBan on Ravelry

For me, summer is the time to knit socks and shawls (especially lace ones). I always have to wear my knitting as soon as it's off the needles, never mind the temperature! So, I don't knit wool sweater and other winter stuff, I juts wait for fall... I know that it would be smarter to plan away and knit for the upcoming season instead of the current one, but I can't help it: my motivation and inspiration are linked to the weather and knowing that I'll wear my finished object as soon they are done!

i have the perfect customer for the dinosaur. An adorable three year old boy. He and his twin sister are getting a new baby sister (surprise surprise, mom and dad thought this was not medically possible).Daniel would absolutely love the dinosaurs and he might not feel so outnumbered by the new baby sister he is afraid to have come in the house. Keep up the great designing.

Okay, so now the neighbors are saying "She's taking pictures of her children in knitwear again...poor girl" ;-) Love hearing your latest podcast, please keep them coming!! Charlene (Keppygirl on Ravelry)

Loved your photo shoot story. It was very entertaining. The Coastal Knit for kids patterns are all so adorably cute. I'm sure my grandson and nephew would rather have a knitted dinosaur instead of a sweater!!

I can totally relate to your hilarious photo shoot story. I have 6 kiddos myself, and a couple of them have been spit-up kings! If I had taken off the bib (or didn't have one on yet) I could always count on a big mess to follow. So glad you're podcasting again!

I thoroughly enjoy your podcast. The toys are cute. I spent my 10th anniversary awaiting the birth of our daughter. That was 25 years ago today and now we are busy planning her wedding this August. Incredible how time passes so quickly. Skibum on Rav

My five year old boy and his cousins would love these dinos, how cute are they! Thanks for another great episode, so glad you've returned. I loved your story about your sons sweater, it brought back memories of my kids when they were young. How easily we forget about all the spit up and how much laundry such a little person can generate!

I have become hard-core knitter I guess. A couple of years ago I started knitting through the summer months. Before that I was a seasonal knitter. Last summer during the terrible heat waves I remember knitting a thick cable hat from angora-merino blend. My friends laught at me but I was really inspired to knit that yarn I got on summer sale and the Ysolda Teagues wonderful pattern. I haven't knit anything big and wolly in the summer yet, but I'm plannin to knit a sweater during the Ravelympics. We'll see how that goes.

Thank you for sharing the story of taking pictures of your son. I also loved the train knitting story.

I enjoyed listing to the podcast and will check back regularly for new ones. I have crocheted toys but haven't ventured into knitting them yet, being only one year into knitting. My new granddaughter will soon be old enough to play with toys and what's cuddlier than a T-Rex?
